^^^I remember he played for Chicago for awhile......He may have been 2nd in rushing in 88', but second to Barry in all~purpose yards that year was some back who played for San Jose St.....then later went to the Phoenix Cardinals, and went to the Probowl his rookie year.....and then became a star on some obscure nintendo football game..........................................I just can't put my finger on his name...............................all I know is that guy definitley deserves a highlight reel if Darrin Lewis has one.

^^^Naw..........It's only poison at Tournaments where I have to play against teams that completely outclass the Cardinals.....other than that, Johnny Johnson was an elite back who I looked up to since I was in single digets. People need to know about "best that never was" players like him. They defined an era......and there's nothing kool-aid about Johnson.....more like a 100 proof top shelf Bourbon.

A guy who played for an Ivy League school, yet was a heisman winner. He was a single-wing tailback, so Kazmaier was essentially the QB of the team. In today's game, he'd be considered an exciting Manziel/Vick/Lamar Jackson type of dual threat QB.

DJ Dozier wasn't the most gifted athlete of all time, but he knew how to run effectively and just got yardage. I really enjoyed making this video. Also, the cover is one of the more iconic images in CFB history:

^^^He wasn't the MOST gifted athlete, but he was a pretty damn good one...he had a burst that few backs his size had, plus he could crush a baseball and run the bases exceptionally.....he was another Bo, just not as fast. He was drafted by the NFL and the Major League.

He was a good athlete, but nothing spectacular. He wasn't a great baseball player either. Dozier was a good player who had nice quickness, but wasn't anything spectacular. The only reason that I made this video is because he always seemed to be popping up in the games I was watching for other players videos. Eventually, I decided that I might as well take advantage of all of that video just sitting around and made a video of Dozier. And this was the result.

Well......you know what they say......opinions' are like a$$holes.....everybody has one ......in the 80's, when he played for Penn State, and he was in his mode, I think he was one of the best college players in the country. (eazily top 10) .....He also had a knack for saving his best $#!t for the big games...he reminded me a lot of Franco Harris for the Steelers.

Tailback King is gonna get a boner this fall when I start releasing more videos. Right now, I've found a lot of tailbacks that stand over 6'1 and weigh at least 220 pounds to make videos for (including legendary Tecmo runner Harold Green).

Just as long as there's some highlights of the 6'3, 230 pound guy from San Jose State.........which a film teaser is LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG over due for. I just thought I'd throw that in there, since the word LEGEND is bein' tossed around.

Let me tell you, there was a back for Ohio State in the early 90's named Robert Smith. He went 6'3 and around 215 pounds. The guy runs like JJ, but with more grace. He legit looked like Dickerson in college. Long and graceful strides, smooth cuts, and just little bit of violence to end his runs.

Robert Smith was very good, and very injury prone...never the less, he was also a very good player for MIN...I alwayz thought he retired to early. If my memory serves me correctly, one of the rare seasons he actually stayed healthy for, I'm pretty sure he broke 1,500 yards and made a Probowl apperence.

(p.s. Poc, you better be carefull...It's actually illegal in most states to have "JJ" and the words "but with more grace" in the same sentence)
